Community of Rural Enterprise

SSRDP believes in innovation and enterprise development as a strategic development intervention that could accelerate the livelihoods of people at the bottom of the pyramid.

CORE was started with an aim of promoting rural entrepreneurs and community leaders, to develop village level infrastructure to address major issues of rural India. It is a vehicle to improve the quality of life of individuals, families and communities, to sustain a healthy economy and environment in villages, to mitigate the migration of rural India to cities, provide adequate opportunities and income generating activities to young people in their villages. Currently CORE provides training to rural youth on technologies like Areccanut Plate Making, Smokeless Chulahas, Agarbatti Rolling, Bio Gas Making, Screen Printing, Charcoal Briquetting & Renewable Energy.
